In this post I am not going to dig into those valuation parameters as I have detailed post on these parameters in past,
you can read them here (https://www.tankrich.com/value-companies-cera/) and here
(https://www.tankrich.com/2014-48-value-companies-noida/)

We are going on spend some time today on inputs that drives these valuation parameters to draw some conclusion to
refine at the process on how we approach on valuing business

Given we are dealing with 7 input factors this post would be in two parts

Free Cash flows

Let’s draw some inferences

A company which converts its revenue to cash flows higher in proportion to other companies in similar industry
should be valued more
A company which has relatively less cash expense (better credit terms, tax advantage, deferred expenses)
compared to other companies in similar industry should be valued more
A company which has lower capital and maintenance expenses compared to other companies in similar industry
should be valued more

Earnings

Let’s draw some inferences

A company which has underutilised capacity with an opportunity to operate at full capacity has potential to sell
at higher value when it operates at full capacity
A company which has pricing power will be valued relatively more than companies which don’t have pricing
power
A company which has lower cost structure compared to peers in industry should be valued more

Growth Rates

Let’s draw some inferences

To ensure we don’t err in valuing in companies, it always better to assume conservative growth assumptions
relative to GDP growth rates and Industry growth rates
Intuitively companies in countries which are growing fast and in growth stage of industrial cycle would be valued
more than others

Discount rates/Cost of Capital/Opportunity Cost

Applying discount rates is a complex art, it’s a number which is very difficult to arrive as discount rates is function of
individual’s opportunity cost, prevailing and future interest rates and current and future AAA bond yield

It is very complex to model a perfect discount rate, So we should rely on scenario analysis with 3-4 rates and then
make best guess

Lower discount rate would increase value so declining interest rates would result in higher value

We will deal with other input variables in next post

Till then please let me know your views in comments below

yes vivek, ur writing is so much easy to understand.

regarding FCF , some people take cash from operation-cash from investing-cash from finance to be FCF ( FCF= CFO-
CFI-CFF),

in ur writing above its diff. Also may we assume cash from operations to be taken from the cash flow statement of the
company ?

Thanks Saurabh — FCF should be CFO-Capex both of them are their in CF statement, However a better
approximate is Normalised CFO – Normalised Capex – Normalised WC but these involve heavy estimations
and thus errors
